Nairobi County Assembly Deputy Speaker Geoffrey Majiwa has resigned from his role as the assembly’s Energy and ICT committee chairperson. The changes saw Mr Gari vacate his position as ODM representative in the County Assembly Service Board by ODM and his position taken by nominated MCA Catherine Okoth. Mr Majiwa, on the other hand, was elevated to the deputy speaker position as part of a deal between Jubilee and ODM and Jubilee to share the speaker’s and deputy speaker’s positions. The Baba Dogo MCA would be sworn in as the deputy speaker in September, 2020 replacing Ruai MCA John Kamangu who would then be relegated to the chair of chairs committee. Announcing the hand over, Mr Majiwa said he was leaving the chairmanship post to “concentrate on his deputy speaker’s post”.
